Voyah Taishan X8 Launching on May 22: 40,000 Pre-Orders in 13 Days Reshapes the 300,000-yuan SUV Market

Voyah officially announced that its flagship large five‑seat SUV, the Taishan X8, will be officially launched on May 22. The vehicle opened pre‑orders on April 22 with five variants across both PHEV and EV powertrains, priced between RMB 302,900 and RMB 389,900. As of now, the Voyah Taishan X8 has received over 40,000 cumulative pre‑orders within just 13 days of the pre‑sale period — a remarkable achievement in a cooling auto market.

Six-Square-Meter Presidential Suite on Wheels

With five‑seat capacity, the Taishan X8 measures 5,200 mm in length, 2,025 mm in width and 1,814 mm in height, with a 3,090 mm wheelbase. The cabin floor area reaches an expansive 6.1 square metres — making it the largest five‑seat SUV cabin among Chinese‑made vehicles. A 1.85‑metre passenger in the second row still enjoys over three fist‑widths of knee room.

The second‑row zero‑gravity seats support up to 145 degrees of recline and a 200 mm sliding range. All four rear seats come standard with heated, ventilated and massaging functions.

Huawei Smart Cabin & First One‑Key Bed Mode

The Taishan X8 debuts the HarmonyOS Smart Cockpit 5.2 equipped with dual 15.6‑inch 2K screens. The integrated MOLA voice model can understand subtle out‑of‑context commands, while three‑finger swipes allow for seamless screen‑to‑screen navigation sharing.

The vehicle also introduces the industry‘s first fully automatic one‑key bed mode. At the press of a button, the second‑row seats fold flat and an air mattress inflates in under a minute, creating a 2.1‑metre‑long flat space for overnight camping or mid‑route rest.

Huawei Quad‑LiDAR ADAS for L3‑Ready Autonomy

The Taishan X8 is the first production vehicle to feature Huawei‘s quad‑LiDAR system, comprising one 896‑line dual‑path image‑grade primary LiDAR and three solid‑state blind‑spot LiDARs, plus five 4D imaging millimetre‑wave radars. This setup delivers all‑round perception capabilities already capable of supporting L3‑level driving functions.

The ADAS suite covers highway and urban NOA, full‑scene auto parking, cross‑traffic alerts and more, with lifetime OTA update support.

Ultra‑Long Range and 5C Ultra‑Fast Charging

The PHEV version integrates a 65 kWh battery, a CLTC all‑electric range of 370 km and a full‑tank combined range of 1,506 km. It supports an 800V platform with 5C ultra‑fast charging, taking the battery from 20% to 80% in just 12 minutes. The EV version houses the segment‘s largest 120 kWh battery, delivering a CLTC range of 727 km — one of the longest in its class.

Chassis: Rear‑Wheel Steering & Tri‑Chamber Air Suspension

Based on Voyah‘s Qingyun Platform 2.0, the Taishan X8 comes standard with a front double‑wishbone and rear five‑link all‑aluminium suspension, tri‑chamber air suspension with EDC magic carpet technology, and a 16‑degree bidirectional rear‑wheel steering system — reducing the turning radius of this 5.2‑metre large SUV to just 5.4 metres.

Outlook

In the fiercely competitive RMB 300,000‑400,000 “8‑series” SUV segment the Taishan X8 stands out with its oversized six‑square‑metre cabin, Huawei‘s full‑stack smart cockpit and ADAS, ultra‑long range and 5C charging, and highly manoeuvrable chassis with rear‑wheel steering. With its 40,000 pre‑orders reached in just 13 days, the Taishan X8 has demonstrated enormous potential. On May 22, when the Voyah Taishan X8 officially launches, China’s premium large five‑seat SUV market is poised for a major realignment. For family buyers who demand space, intelligence, comfort and hassle‑free long‑distance travel, this is the strongest contender yet in the RMB 300,000 class.
